Free Spirit Sphere – Qualicum Beach, British Columbia

This hanging room is the brainchild of Tom and Rosy Chudleigh, a
Canadian couple who build these spherical living spaces for customers
around the world. The Chudleighs have two spheres hanging on their
property: the Eve model, which has a diameter of 9 feet, and the Eryn
model, which has a diameter of 10.5 feet. The spheres can be ordered
fully loaded, equipped with plumbing, electricity and insulation. An
average sphere weighs around 1,100 pounds, and it takes a crew of three
about a day to install. The Chudleighs say that the structures gently
rock in the wind, a nice thought — depending on just how windy it is.
